Hawk and Boy_Andrew

Hawk (He/Him), a Transgender Leather Man, and Andrew (They/He), a Transgender Leather boy, have been in a committed 24/7 pervasive authority exchange dynamic for 8 years. Hawk has been part of the LGBTQ+ community since the late 70’s, and today he is still out and proud as Queer. Since 2016, Hawk has been presenting about gender to the medical students at the University of Washington, at various Kink & Leather conferences, and locally at his church. Andrew has been in service to Hawk since first coming into the scene. Andrew came out as transgender in their late teens around a decade ago—their Queer and Leather identities are deeply intertwined. Andrew joined Hawk in presenting workshops in 2018, and has been presenting with their Sir ever since. Both Hawk and Andrew are active members of MAsT Greater Vancouver, and are involved in the Seattle scene.
